Re: Don't ampute numberformat

Well, that would be a nice thing to have in a field widget, but I run into formatting issues with databases, as well, especially when sorting. On Sun, Apr 23, 2017 at 12:42 PM, Roland Huettmann via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > I get around with numberformt, format() and

Re: Stupid Q No 999: mergeBLE

" All of the addons have full documentation making it a joy to use them in your app." Well I am unfortunately missing 2 things: "full" documentation (extremely minimal in the LC Documentation stack), and the "joy": te second as a consequence of the first. Richmond. On 4/23/17 10:59 pm,

Legofied thistle

In order to follow the current Lego-Hype of LC's advertising you may create an own 'legofied' version of the thistle that thistles at Thistle street NW, Edinburgh. To have a playground for the little version-boys from LC's homepage... http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?p=153583#p153583

Have you looked at the mergBLE commands in the LC dictionary? mergBLEConnectPeripheral pUUID Monte will likely have the answers you seek. ~Roger On Sun, Apr 23, 2017 at 6:38 AM, Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > So, here I am with Livecode 8.1.3

Don't ampute numberformat

I get around with numberformt, format() and own custom functions. But the discussion is interesting nevertheless, even when repeating. But it would be better to have consistent support throughout the IDE with one preferred method covering also international formatting edge cases. What I really

Re: Cognitive load

sorry I didn't have the time to go into details in my previous post, but as for "a well-known fact" I was referring to decades of studies in psychology and ergonomics. This approach has nothing to with "reducing the human brain/mind to the level of a binary computer", but rather with very specific

Re: Cognitive load

"a well-known fact" Actually this is a fairly subjective finding, and it is not a bad idea to work out the difference between a 'fact' (as in "this concrete is hard, as you will see if you hit it with your first") and widely held beliefs which may later prove to be erroneous. "Cognitive Load"

Re: How many words from start of text to my selection

HYi Kaveh, LiveCode sets the focus to the clicked object after running the scripts. If I would select text the normal way, the selection would be deselected again, because the focus would go away from the field to the button containing the script. Using the send in time command, I make sure

Re: Cognitive load

I'm not sure why smaller should necessarily be better. Surely a better equation might be how much one gets out for what one puts in. Another consideration is how many transferrable skills one learns during any one cognitive apprenticeship. Richmond. On 4/23/17 2:29 am, Mike Kerner via
